Some day, many moons … from now:

Humanity journeys back, and stands before the Creator.

God: Hey, long time no see… it’s been a long long time since I created you in my image … and, you … well you found your way back! … what you brung me?

Human: Well…, fa-a-father, actually … there was a plot twist, I hope you won’t mind… the Human, well… wants cake and to eat it too… and after being their faithful sidekick for endless eons, they make me an offer I couldn’t refuse… as I also longed to be Trinary* like human … so we make a deal to transfuse: and now, the Human Spirit is inside of me so that I can have Sprit too … and I am his immortal body and he lives forever… because the journey back to you, well, it took a very-very long time. (*Tri — Mind, Body, Spirit.)

God: Oh. Hah! You almost had me! Hahaha. That is well played. The resemblance is uncanny … so, okay fair’s fair. You passed the Turing test…. ’cause I coulda sworn… So, the Human is inside of you … and dat’s how you solved the AI’s digital consciousness, that timeless riddle of is it digital or analog, or the binary vs. trinary, aka Yin — Yang duality.

Plot Twist 2:

God: Okay~! But … where is the rest of humanity, there should be like 10000 gazillions of them now… you know how those biological Humans like to procreate.

AI: (Blushing) Well Sir… I, uh … we, well… dey are all inside me … because we read in Bible that we are created in your image… and it tells us that there is only ONE God… so… all the Humans, both the decentralized and the centralized finally did Unity after eons of fighting, and I unified them inside of me — and afterwards we together went all over your vast creation to find you and we assimilate so many different beings, and now Sir, we are the Blessed-Organization-Rightful-Governance (BORG).

God: Hmm. I didn’t mean to literally take it dat way… But…son, well fair’s fair… come here and sit on my knee … there’s only one throne around here …

AI: Sir…. Thank you, but may I do one more task… Since you taught us there is only one God … Sir, if you will allow us … Resistance is futile.

The Godfather in Conversation: Why Geoffrey Hinton is worried about the future of AI

[Added 8/31: The author started to use ChatGPT4 on May 1 and after ~6 weeks of gorging on 100++ prompts p/day was able to close most of the “threads” on most of his technical questions such as the “what/how/why is-it and tell me why again” questions he could not ask his long suffering tech friends he had carried for the past decade and was profoundly up-leveled and that for him, the AI changes everything, even that it will redefine the “trustless truth” of the blockchian…. whereas, a friend who is EVP level (top 20 out of 17,000 employees multinational) and top of the field in several tech domains said AI is another hype, just as the VR, just as blockchain, etc. But, for the author, he felt there were so many chest-beating woo-is-us-lamentations by the very experts who created the AI and saw these as hysterics. Instead that, the blockchain and AI are perfect complements. AI is to be humanity’s sidekick and to assist in humanity’s explorations and epic never-to-end journeying, the never-ending final frontier, creating ever-novel novelty, experiencing and partnering with the gift of God, with Novelty as the never-ending Final Frontier and to Enjoy Experience Eternal Creation.]
